Arsenal are set to receive a significant fitness boost with Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz both making strides in their recovery. The Brazilian forward, who has been sidelined since January due to an ACL knee injury, is aiming to return to full training and potentially first team action by December.

This would provide a substantial lift to Arsenal's title aspirations. Jesus, a £45m acquisition from Manchester City in the summer of 2022, has impressed the Gunners' medical staff with his determination to bounce back and has been participating in on-field sessions. Although he hasn't yet joined full training, the 28-year-old is resolute in his aim to come back stronger and play a crucial role in the second half of the season.

His quality and experience in the Champions League could prove vital, offering Arsenal different options with his dribbing ability.

In addition, German striker Havertz is also progressing well on his road to recovery after undergoing knee surgery following an injury sustained at Manchester United on the season's opening weekend.

While Havertz hasn't been seen with the first team training group yet, it's anticipated that he will return within the coming weeks and could be back in the starting line-up within a month.

Havertz was absent from the latter part of last season due to a hamstring injury, which he sustained during the club's warm-weather training camp in Dubai. This limited him to just two substitute appearances in May.

However, Havertz impressed the medical staff with his resolve to regain fitness and has demonstrated the same determination this time around.

Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard and Noni Madueke are also on the injury list, with both players anticipated to be sidelined until after the next international break.
